High Functioning Through Pregnancy and Mental Illness

In this episode, Elizabeth shares her experience of living with depression, grief, and bipolar 2 during pregnancy.  Throughout this period, she continued to function outwardly, even as her mental health struggled beneath the surface.  This episode reflects on what is often overlooked in high-functioning individuals, and how therapy became a place to slow down and acknowledge what was really going on.  Please listen with care and pause if you need to.  Support & Resources:  Therapy Resource Catalogue - https://the-artisticpsychologist.com/therapy-mental-health-resources-by-the-artistic-psychologist/  External Suicide Toolkits - https://tr.ee/cQCujGXnvX  Seeking Help Toolkit - https://tr.ee/orJUB1_Pu8  Grounding Exercises Toolkit - https://the-artisticpsychologist.com/grounding-exercises-a-quick-guide-for-intense-emotions/  Submit your Mental Health story via a voice note - Whatsapp Us on +254 788 036 727, Your story may be featured on our "In Your Own Words" segment of this podcast.  Write for our Blog - https://zfrmz.com/H03NH23xUPly3ZJsEcVQ
